Reply to [MOD] Gauntlet's Race Mod (UPDATED R-1.7 for Retribution 4.21!) in GalCiv III Custom Races GalCiv3 Forums

Thank You :) Beautiful job by the way !! My computer is maxed out at 8 gb and I can't afford a new computer right now. I found by removing the line 1000000.0 , the mod runs perfectly , at least as far as I can tell. So it does work with 2.5 , except for the one line. Any theories ? or did this new definition just come up . How does that line effect play ? My son bought me this on GOG and its not al

Reply to No Game Left Behind: Stardock Brings Update to GalCiv II! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

I think i downloaded it from elsewhere according to mabus or altarn (awesome guy) I'm not sure it was so long ago and that computer crashed. I did a search and i think you can link to it from mabus on Utube - don't hold me to any of that. I'm going to recheck it. I can't remember how i got the link exactly or if it was 2.20 but it was this year. checked and only see the older awesome mods of twilight that he did. If you didnt try em they are great.

need new patch for ultimate edition in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Sorry but I can't seem to locate the latest patches for my GC2 ultimate edition - I heard there was an update this month my version is 2.02.007 . What changes have been made ? I also have altarian prophecy. The website used to automatically tell me what I needed and provide a button to upgrade but something has changed and I am ignorant of the new method. <span style="font-size:

plans to upgrade the AI ??? and an idea or two in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Are there any plans to upgrade the AI ? especially those long journeys ignoring immediate goals just to destroy a distant starbase. Also I think the introduction of carriers with fighters would make for interesting play. Also I did not get much on my suggestion for a mine-laying module or ship to guard space or a planet. <span style="font-

glitch !! losing the turn button in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I am losing the turn button - it will not appear under certain circumstances. One is , if I auto-explore an anomolie then the button does not appear and I can't take my turn. I am DEEP into an epic game and it only started to happen the last 10 turns or so. It would cost many hours to return a savegame where this did not happen because my turns are very long. And I'm not sure if I even have one now as I save often. Thanks.

solution to border protection in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I would like to put this to the community at large as a good solution for border and other protection uses. I have read complaints about border protection and how the ships just roam freely into and out of each others space. I agree that a solution is nee

Reply to AI suggested improvements and a couple bugs PLEASE READ in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

thanks again sir ( I assume) the mine layer and sweeper modules could be laid by a specialized ship or just an add-on. The removal of said mines could take a certain number of turns to remove with a ship so equipped. The mines would explode based on proximity of course. They could even have some variety of effects, some damage of course, some dispersion, maybe even a black hole mine that could suck ships into it. A

Reply to AI suggested improvements and a couple bugs PLEASE READ in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Sole Wow that's very informative - Thank you I think maybe make the Minor races take a few planets and have some random possibility of them becoming somewhat Major would make them more interesting. Possibly even have them ally with each other on occasion. (confession)You picked up on my tone on that one as I was venting a bit. <span style="font-siz

Loup.... 2. good point - they may not have had the tech but I had it loaded so it had extended range. Anyways - they just try to take their ships too far and not concentrate on what's nearby. I had some ships in Yor space that they could have destroyed but they went right past me and aimed for a VERY far away sector that , not surprisingly, had a starbase they wanted to destroy. <span style="fo

AI suggested improvements and a couple bugs PLEASE READ in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

All this was discovered playing on crippling level or better in regular game not campaign. 1. The AI does not put much on many planets. They don't maximize potential well at all. 2. They send their ships on VERY long journeys to attack or retreat ( wasting time ) not putting their ships to the best use. I once paid 10000 BC for a ship and gave i

Reply to out of memory error in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I am running XP as stated. I have increased my page file to 8 gigs. I do find that if I turn the computer off for a while and take a break. The memory empties. My OOM came WITHOUT me doing 1 invasion. However I had played for many hours on a HUGE map with all opponents and all minor races on. I had a similar problem with GC1 . But I could not resolve it so I shelved the game. The music still stutters until it steadies itself. I'm not running any other programs wh

All Races al appear contact possible after getting Universal T - Before even meeting them and other problems in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Is there a way to fix this without re-install ? The other races all appear and I can communicate with them as soon as I have translator. The first two game were not like this and I could not speak to them until discovered. Also the AI overvalues terraforming tech (often trading too much for it) Also, how do I preserve my ship designs and saves if I have to re-install ? Also, Why do the ships in orbit defend 1 at a time and you can attack them with a fleet (
